Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Poate într-o altă viaţă

This was an interesting book with an interesting concept. I didn’t enjoy one storyline a lot more than the other. I thought the writing was OK. It was a little boring and simple. In my opinion. The characters were OK but there was a lot of good quotes in this.

This was a sweet book, but I found it majorly lacking in personality. Predominantly in the main character, Hannah, which made it difficult to really connect with the story. As its told in two alternating timelines defined by a single choice (stay out with her ex or go home early with her best friend, Gabby), that sort-of only added to the disconnect I felt like.

The one relationship in the book that I really loved was the only constant in both timelines—Hannah and Gabby’s friendship. I liked one MMC far better than the other, though neither had me in my feelings, as they say. Pretty predictable story arcs on both sides.

However, this is a really optimistic, hopeful read. Good if you’re wanting something light complete with not one, but TWO happily ever afters. It read quite fast, too, so that was a plus.

When I read the blurb and realised that this story was going to be split into alternating universes, I thought to myself "how is this going to work?" But, oh my god, it works.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is extraordinary–she gets these insane and unique ideas for novels, sprinkles some magic on them, and brings them to life EXACTLY how they should be written and read. I am never disappointed after reading her work and I highly recommend this, and all other books, written by her wonderful hand.
Incredible. Emotional. Genius.
